SETI@home Director Eric Korpela will be discussing the recent SETI@home results papers on the SETI Institute's SETI Live Podcast at 2:30 PM PST (5:30 PM EST, 2230 UTC).

Thanks for hinting at this podcast.

Now, UC Berkeley scientists have taken a fresh, rigorous look at the vast SETI@home archive and identified around 100 intriguing signals that warrant closer scrutiny.

In this SETI Live, host Beth Johnson is joined by Eric Korpela (UC Berkeley), one of the scientists behind the original SETI@home project and the new analyses. Together, they’ll unpack how citizen science made this work possible, what these signals actually are (and are not), how researchers sort cosmic noise from something genuinely interesting, and what this next phase of investigation means for the future of SETI.

Are any of these signals evidence of technology beyond Earth? Probably not—but “probably” is exactly where the science gets interesting.

Thanks for that.

... And note that there is more in the data than the search for signs of intelligence...

As explained by Eric and hinted further, their unusual step of using raw broadband data collection has allowed the search and mapping of astrophysical features beyond the s@h search... And there is more yet to come...


Fantastic!

A beautifully relaxed and informative interview but quite dry for such a multi-decades long pioneering epic that was propelled by a fantastic following and boundless enthusiasm. Still good to follow.

(Anyone game to add some AI to re-spin in the style of Brian Cox or Bill Nye or Neil deGrasse Tyson?!! Enjoy!)


Keep searchin'!
